Multnomah County’s Labor Compliance Program (LCP) will use the guidelines set forth by the State of Oregon - Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) to determine labor and wage compliance have been met on all County projects.
Led by Labor Compliance Specialist, Patrick Wybert, the focus of Labor Compliance is on the workforce in the construction trades, specifically ensuring that the appropriate BOLI Prevailing Wage rate is paid to the workforce building our communities. Most construction projects over $50,000 require compliance with BOLI Prevailing wage rate laws. Prevailing wage rate laws ensure local participation and community established pay standards on publicly funded projects. Refer to your contract for the Prevailing wage rate publication date to be used. Additionally, the County is committed to ensuring that our construction projects are workplaces that are free of illegal bias, prejudice, discrimination, harassment, or retaliatory conduct.
The Labor Compliance Program enlists community volunteers to conduct labor compliance site visits where experienced volunteers interview construction trade workers on County projects, reviewing construction daily sign-in sheets and ensure all required safety and worker protection notices are posted on job sites.
The contract compliance reporting systems currently in place for the monitoring of construction projects are B2Gnow and LCPtracker. In 2026, the County will transition to eComply for prevailing wage maintenance, discontinuing use of LCPtracker. Contractors must be invited into each system.
